"Plea
to
the
#PrimeMinisterOfIndia.
Dear
Narendra
Modi
ji.
We
pray
in
#Navratri
to
#Durga
who
was
worshipped
by
#Ram
before
defeating
the
evil
#Ravana.
As
the
custodian
of
truth
at
this
point
in
time,
help
us
get
justice,
which
a
legal
system
we
inhabit
does
not
provide
us
with
tools
to
avail?"
-

We're
living
in
times
when
our
law
shelters
perpetrators
and
oppresses
victims
who're
not
equipped
with
the
arms
to
fight,
where
humiliation
defies
&
scores
over
empathy.
We're
living
in
an
environment
in
which
morality
is
defined
by
the
rich
and
powerful."
“I
Request
You
To
Provide
Us
With
The
Space
In
Which
We
Will
Be
Heard”
"I
request
you
to
provide
us
with
the
space
in
which
we
will
be
heard.
We
never
found
courage
to
express
ourselves
until
the
#MeToo
movement
galvanised
by
honesty
of
a
few,
gave
us
confidence
to
speak
&
compelled
our
countrymen
and
women
to
listen
to
us.
I
request
you
to
show
the
world,
that
the
change
we
seek
to
end
the
conspiracy
of
silence,
the
support
we
claim
for
securing
ourselves
against
the
consequences
of
voicing
our
anguish;
will
rise
above
being
mere
platitudes
and
become
a
true
reality."

“Prove
Them
Otherwise
By
Taking
Action
Sir”
"We're
victims
but
are
being
victimised
and
humiliated
because
the
men
being
questioned
have
the
support
of
the
practices
and
traditions
of
male
dominance
for
thousands
of
years.
They
say
this
is
no
country
for
women.
Prove
them
otherwise
by
taking
action
Sir.
There
is
a
rising
of
global
consciousness
today
and
it
supports
women
like
us,
but
the
long
practises
of
curtailing
women's
rights
are
barriers
to
the
progress
that
we
are
and
have
been
seeking."

Vinita
Concludes…
"Your
intervention
in
favour
of
us,
women
who
have
voices
and
those
who
have
the
support
of
all
pillars
of
society
except
the
system
that
governs
us,
will
provide
the
confidence,
which
those
of
us
who
are
underserved
and
remain
marginalised,
need
desperately."

Latest
Update
On
Alok-Vinita
Controversy:
Alok
Refuses
To
Respond
To
The
Notice!
Recently,
Alok
was
sent
a
notice
to
CINTAA
(Cine
and
TV
Artists
Association).
But,
the
actor
ignored
it
by
saying
that
‘some
of
the
persons
(women)
have
started
misusing
liberties,
protections,
concessions
available
to
them' and
‘false
and
fabricated
complaints
are
filed'!
IFTDA
To
Take
Strong
Action
Against
The
Actor!
Since
Alok
has
refused
to
respond
to
the
notice,
Indian
Film
and
Television
Directors
Association
(IFTDA)
has
now
decided
to
take
strong
action
against
the
actor.
IFTDA
President
Ashoke
Pandit
was
quoted
by
India-forums
as
saying,
"Yes,
she
(Vinita)
did
not
complaint
to
the
police,
but
she
did
complain
to
us.
So
we
will
take
a
strong
stand."
